What's My Approach to Therapy?

You want to reignite connection and passion with your partner. The distance between you seems vast and has been there for so long that you don't know how to bridge it anymore. The love between the two of you used to be strong but you don't know how to bring it back. You know you both played a role in creating the distance. You want to fix it but you aren't sure about your partner. You'd like to try therapy but you need someone sharp enough to keep up with you. I specialize in issues just like these. I know how to help you use this time to maximize positive relationship changes. I have an active style that focuses on stopping the hurt and helping you connect. Because I specialize in relationship *and* sexual issues, once the emotional connection is reestablished, I know how to help you reignite passion too. When you contact me today I will get back to you within 1 business day. We'll schedule a 15-20 minute phone call to make sure there is a good fit between your needs and my services. On the call I start by answering your questions, then I ask about what is bringing you to therapy and a few screening questions. Then, I'll share what you can expect in the first few sessions. If everything sounds like a good fit, we can discuss my fee and schedule an appointment. Don't wait any longer to reach out and begin making the changes to end arguments and jump-start the passion with your love.

My Practice & Services

In my practice, I am invigorated when my clients across a week are culturally and sexually diverse. You may find your identity below for more information about my service to people like you. African-American: Because I have not forgotten where I come from, I know that I have learned from and owe a debt of service to the Black community members, so it is an honor for me to serve Black clients and Black men in particular. I have a consultant who helps me maintain competence when working with Black clients. IndianSouth Asian: I lived in India for almost a year as a young man, staying with families. This gave me an appreciation for Indian family dynamics and insight into the bicultural experiences of 2nd-generation Americans of Indian descent. LGBTQ+: Queer space has always been a safe space for me. As a member of the queer community, I love giving back that sense of safety in the therapy room. KinkBDSM: I'm Kink-knowledgeable, meaning I'm familiar with a broad array of kink practices and the Safe, Sane, and Consensual (or R.A.C.K. if you prefer) structures that make them safer. I don't squick out easily, and I know that most of the time, the kink doesn't need to be a focus of treatment. Consensual Nonmonogamy: Whether you are a swinger, open, poly, or a relationship anarchist, I'm prepared. I can work with individuals, dyads, and more-somes in therapy, and I can help with jealousy, relationship agreements, broken agreements, and multilayered communication.

My Therapy Focus

I love helping people with relationship and intimacy issues. I work with individuals, couples, and systems to improve relationship satisfaction by breaking unproductive emotional cycles, strengthening communication skills, cultivating mutual empathy and compassion, and creating a relationship environment where intimacy can bloom. It can be challenging to talk with a therapist about sexual issues. For that reason, I take any conversation about sexual matters at the client's pace. I maintain a professional atmosphere in which we discuss only the level of detail required for me to understand the challenge and offer suggestions for change.
